Star Wars Land Coming To Disney World

quote:One idea that came along before Disney made the hugest deal of all time was a STAR WARS theme park. It's said that The Walt Disney Company decided to dump $1 billion into giving Disney's Hollywood Studios at Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida a make-over. It's been revealed from sources close to themeparkinsider.com that Star Wars Land is coming. Here are some details on the location within the park which will take at least 5 years to get up and going:

I'm surprised this hasn't been done years ago considering the Indiana Jones partnership with Disney.

it would be a big hit but they need to do more than upgrade that area they need to make Hollywood studios bigger....just look at harry potter world at universal , that place gets ridiculously packed....imagine star wars , it could probably be its own park....

This rumor (although heavy with some accurate insider confirmation) has been floating around for some time as Disney's response to Universal and Harry Potter. Now with the announcement of the second phase of Harry Potter opening, Disney is scrambling to respond, while MGM is leaking money and dying.

I'm all for expansion and I love Star Wars, but not at the cost of Muppets, Sci Fi dine in, Mama Melrose, Indiana Jones, and several other attractions.

Disney bought the rights to marvel, but cannot market or use any marvel characters already under the umbrella of someone else. Hulk, spider man, etc.

Now, go to Europe and you will see Disney hulk shit, just not in the US
